Question

I am trying the MVC3 exception handling, and came with following test code:

public class HomeController : Controller {
    public ActionResult Index() {
        throw new ArgumentException();
        return View();
    }
}

My controller forces to throw exception, and in my web.config

<customErrors mode="On" defaultRedirect="~/ErrorHandler/Index">
  <error statusCode="404" redirect="~/ErrorHandler/NotFound"></error>
</customErrors>

I have created another controller to server ErrorHandler/Index and ErrorHandler/NotFound request already.

With my testing, I can see the 404 code could be captured but 500 code has been ignore totally.

Anything wrong with my code?

Thanks

Remove the following line:

filters.Add(new HandleErrorAttribute());

from the RegisterGlobalFilters method in your Global.asax.
